Converting PDF to DXF

Prev Next

If you have a PDF file from the architect and you need to import that into LAVA, you can very easily convert the PDF to a DXF in AutoCAD.  

AutoCAD provides a built-in feature to import PDFs and save them as DXF files:

  1. Open AutoCAD and create a new drawing.

  2. Use the PDFIMPORT command to import the PDF.

  3. After importing, go to File > Save As.

  4. Choose DXF as the file type and save.

See this article for further instructions on how to adjust the DXF to easily import into LAVA.
